Chapter 968: Chapter 508: That Beam of Light Tearing Through Darkness (Part 3)
Horus truly saved his life; these people are not ordinary. Most of them are mid to high-level figures in the Military War Department or the Supreme Council, and some are from the Holy Church. Many of them Rod even knows; if it weren’t for Horus, he wouldn’t have been able to control the situation.
This sole archbishop of the Holy Church looks in good spirits, having completely shaken off the shadow of being controlled by the Doomsday believers. More importantly, Rod faintly senses something transforming within him, a feeling very familiar.
"Your Excellency the Archbishop."
Rod asked somewhat hesitantly.
"Are you... about to become a Commander?"
A surprised expression also appeared on Horus’s withered-looking face: "You can actually sense that? The Soul Trait is the source projecting onto the soul, a process of obtaining reality from the void called quantification. This disturbance is based on the depths of the Sea of Source. Unless you have already mastered the source, few can perceive the changes from the Sea of Source."
Rod could not explain that he had already felt the process of quantification multiple times. He chuckled dryly: "Maybe I’m just sensitive."
Horus nodded: "You indeed cannot be measured by common sense; any incredible thing happening to you is acceptable."
Rod modestly said: "Your Excellency the Archbishop’s judgment is indeed accurate."
On the way to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, Horus briefly inquired about the situation in Starry Sky City. Upon learning that Rod had specially injected three days’ worth of spirituality into the Star Chart before leaving, his withered-looking face unexpectedly blossomed.
"Well done."
He praised.
"The Star Source is our core material, and many people’s advancements rely on it."
He paused and continued.
"I am the same."
Rod asked in surprise: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, is your advancement also related to the Star Source?"
Horus nodded: "Yes, I’ve been stuck at the bottleneck of being a Transcendent for a long time. My soul is too old, unable to take the crucial step of quantification. There is no Lawyer in the Bright Light Attribute. I am the first to become a Commander with the Bright Light Attribute; no one can help me except the Star Source."
"High-concentration Star Source Potion has greatly activated my soul, significantly enhancing my perception of the Sea of Source. My trait has finally loosened, starting to move toward its source."
"If I become the first Commander of the Bright Light Attribute, more people will tread my path. Do you understand its significance, Rod?"
Rod suddenly realized: "More Commanders will appear in the Royal City! The Bright Light Attribute has strong medical abilities, meaning many super doctors will emerge among us!"
Horus said with relief: "Indeed, you are very wise. Rumors say you are brainless, obviously spread by Doomsday believers. I will rigorously investigate this kind of rumor."
At this point, Rod asked: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, how is the investigation concerning the Descender Sect going?"
Horus’s expression turned slightly grave: "No progress yet; the only suspect, Manolo Bana, has no clues on him. We had to release him again, but Judgers are constantly following him; he cannot leave the Upper City."
Rod wanted to ask more, but Horus interrupted him.
"Enough, we have arrived. The King has more important things to tell you."
He pushed open the door to the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, and golden light instantly flooded in like a tide.
